Quick and delicious weeknight meals
This was a delicious and quick chicken marsala recipe. Most chicken marsala recipes have butter and some have cream. This recipe uses olive oil and no dairy. The sauce is so flavorful we didn’t miss the butter or cream at all. I increased the mushrooms …
Here’s a delicious dish for the cooler weather! The stew wasn’t what I expected — it was much earthier and less tomato-y. But we loved it! Giada rarely steers me wrong. The mushrooms (I used baby bellas) added a really nice flavor. And, the meatballs …

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! We had a great first Christmas with Charlotte. We enjoyed lots of time with family and lots of delicious food! In case you are looking for menu ideas for New Year’s Eve or New Year’s Day, I highly …
